Friends of Edmond Town Hall host inaugural Gala on May 4!

Friends of Edmond Town Hall will host its inaugural Gala on May 4, 2024, from 7:00 to 10:00 PM in the Alexandria Room of Edmond Town Hall, located at 45 Main Street, Newtown, Connecticut. 


The theme for this grand event is "A Formal Affair," and guests are encouraged to dress in semi-formal cocktail attire. The evening promises a delightful array of activities, including live and silent auctions, a raffle, delectable passed and stationary hors d'oeuvres, a complimentary signature cocktail or mocktail, a cash bar offering beer and wine, and live entertainment to enchant the night. 


Gala Chair Marci Albanesi stated, “We are really excited for the First Annual Gala to benefit Edmond Town Hall. With the goal of enhancing the quality of life for Newtown residents through music and the arts, this gala will specifically benefit the 6 dressing rooms utilized by all artists who use the theater. Whether it’s our children performing with the local dance and theater companies or artists booked for comedy and live music shows, providing updated, comfortable, and functional dressing rooms is essential. 


The auction will feature exciting items such as a Stratton Airbnb getaway, classes at Balanced Pilates, a catered meal for eight, and more! Get the detailed silent auction list here.  


The culinary experience at the gala will be orchestrated by the award-winning STF Catering, LTD, renowned for its local and sustainable farm-to-table cuisine, ensuring that the passed and stationary hors d'oeuvres are not only delicious but also aligned with eco-friendly practices. 


Tickets for this exclusive event are priced at $125.00 each and can be conveniently purchased online at friendsofeth-gala.org. Group discounts are also available, and sponsorship opportunities with various levels of support are detailed on our website. 


Proceeds from this event will support the mission of Friends of Edmond Town Hall, dedicated to bringing enriching arts and humanities programming to the community while preserving the historic Edmond Town Hall. Join us in celebrating and supporting our vibrant arts community!
